  • "A lovely place to stay with beautiful views and vistas."

    We enjoyed very much seeing the geese flying over morning and night and watching flicks of birds on the shore. The property was comfortable and warm and the owner helpfully supplied a gas heater as the wood stove couldn’t be used. The bed was warm and cosy The kitchen was equipped with what was needed - although the lights in the kitchen were a bit dim for evening cooking. We didn’t mind though - as gourmet cooking was not what we were expecting to do. The welcome hamper was really lovely with delicious treats as well as basics. This place is a gem for its situation alone and is obviously much loved. Would definitely stay again

  • "Perfect for a peaceful break away with my four legged companions."

    Fabulous location. Lots of beach walks and relaxing on the decking taking in the spectacular view. Facilities are limited (as described) but perfectly adequate. No issue with no Wi-Fi. But if there is a possibility to provide phone charging facilities this would be a very useful addition. Definitely returning,

  • "The cottage is in a fantastic position, so quiet, close to the sea, a great footpath to the reserve or the beach."

    Bird life is amazing. Sunset glorious! Cottage has no mains electricity, so TV limited, unable to charge phone, nice and quiet! 9v lights etc. Great outside seating area with views.

  • "A lovely little place to stay, really quiet and peaceful, the owner Kate was great."

    Could do with a lick of paint outside and some 12 volt usb sockets installing but I believe the property is new to the owner and is an ongoing project, would have been great to use the rowing boat but it was buried under blackberries, this wouldn’t stop us returning though. Enjoyed our stay immensely.

  • "A wonderful location and a great place to relax and unwind."

    You are basically going "off the grid" but we really appreciated this with glorious sunsets and seabird murmurations to entertain us in the evenings. Storage space for food and drink was limited but easy to work around once you got used to it. Like a static caravan, this property is hot in the daytime but gets chilly overnight. A great stay, thank you.

The property

102 The Beach is a charming holiday home, sitting in a prime position on Snettisham beach in Norfolk.

With sea views, an RSPB reserve on the doorstep, and off-road parking, this property makes a most suitable base from which to explore East Anglia as a group of friends or a family of three.

Step inside and find the open-plan living room and kitchen, home to a woodburning stove to keep you warm in the cooler months, and a kitchen equipped with a gas oven and hob for your home-cooked meals.

Take the steps up to the sun/dining room where you can enjoy the sea views while dining on delicious meals, or make your way out to the decking for some evening drinks.

From here, you can head down the steps to the side garden, perfect for enjoying a picnic or popping your bikes into the secure shed for storage.

Back inside, freshen up in the shower room before jumping into either the king-size or single bed to rest ahead of a day of adventure.

The property is perfectly situated for a walk along the beach or a little further to a good fish and chip shop for supper when you don’t feel like cooking.

You can even find a handful of shops and pubs within walking distance on the nearby caravan sites, while further inland in the village of Snettisham, you can enjoy refreshments at the pubs, a pharmacy, an antiques and collectables centre with a coffee shop, and several other amenities, or a simply savour a dinner at the local bistro.

Birdwatchers will love the abundance of natural wildlife in the area, with numerous RSPB attractions from the doorstep while those looking for sand, and sometimes sun, can explore the coast and stunning beaches of Holme, Holkham and Blakeney.

History buffs of your group may want to make their way around the National Trust’s Oxborough and Blickling Hall, and Sandringham House and Gardens, all within reach of the property.

For a livelier day out, there is also easy access to the historic cities of Norwich, Cambridge, and Ely, and also just a scenic drive to The Broads.

Getaway to 102 The Beach at any time of year!

About the location

SNETTISHAM

Heacham 3 miles; Royal Sandringham 4 miles; Hunstanton 5 miles.

Snettisham is a traditional Norfolk village, with many of its houses built from the local iron-rich carr stone, which has an attractive golden-brown colouring. Due to this, the buildings are known locally as “gingerbread houses”. Village amenities include general stores, a Post Office, 2 inns, a bistro and a regular bus service to the bustling, family-friendly seaside resort of Hunstanton and historic King’s Lynn. The church of St Mary sits alone on top of the hill and is certainly worthy of a look inside at the exquisitely decorated tracery flowers on the west window. There is an RSPB bird sanctuary close to the beach, which is three miles away, and the ancient Peddars Way public footpath runs near to the village. Park Farm is on the edge of the village, and is a working farm with year-round activities for all the family, including a 45-minute “deer safari” and the chance to feed some of the animals. The Royal Estate of Sandringham, whose impressive house, gardens and church are open to the public, is nearby, as are the plant farm, tea rooms and gift shop at Norfolk Lavender, England's premier lavender farm.
